摘要： An insertion apparatus includes: a flexible tube; an electric driving source arranged on a proximal end side of the flexible tube; a driven portion arranged on a distal end of the flexible tube; and a single driving force transmitting member inserted in the flexible tube and formed by being wound in a coil shape. For the driving force transmitting member, first torsional rigidity in a first rotating state of being rotated in a direction of being wound in the coil shape is set higher than second torsional rigidity in a second rotating state of being rotated in an opposite direction; and the driven portion performs a first motion by the first rotating state and performs a second motion requiring a larger amount of force than the first motion by the second rotating state.

摘要： A treatment instrument lifting adjusting portion including a lifting member and an operation wire is disposed outside of a treatment instrument guiding-out path including an exit member and a tube in a distal end portion. Thus, cleaning work can be performed by inserting, for example, a brush into the treatment instrument guiding-out path, and is easily performed similarly to an endoscope of a type having no treatment instrument lifting function.

摘要： A holding frame made of a material to bear a greater shear stress than a distal end portion rigid portion (a distal end portion) is adhered and fixed to the distal end rigid portion in a state where one end face is exposed from an inclined surface, and an image guide and a light guide are held through the holding frame. In addition, a groove is provided on a side surface of the holding frame and one end of the groove is exposed on a distal end face (the inclined surface) of the distal end rigid portion, to thereby realize downsizing of the distal end portion without lowering durability and improve repairability.

摘要： A fiber optic force sensing assembly for detecting forces imparted at a distal end of a catheter assembly. The structural member may include segments adjacent each other in a serial arrangement, with gaps located between adjacent segments that are bridged by flexures. Fiber optics are coupled to the structural member. In one embodiment, each fiber optic has a distal end disposed adjacent one of the gaps and oriented for emission of light onto and for collection of light reflected from a segment adjacent the gap. The optical fibers cooperate with the deformable structure to provide a change in the intensity of the reflected light, or alternatively to provide a variable gap interferometer for sensing deformation of the structural member. In another embodiment, the gaps are bridged by fiber Bragg gratings that reflect light back through the fiber optic at central wavelengths that vary with the strain imposed on the grating.
